drivers for atheros ar9485 wireless adapter
« on: January 19, 2012, 07:33:05 PM »
Gateway lt2802u with Atheros AR9485 wireless adapter

Does anyone know if there are drivers for this, or do I need to do a package request?

I am doing updates now and will reboot in the meantime to see if it picks any drivers up.

I am running Dark Mystery, a non official release based on the latest kernel

Thanks for any heads up or advice.

Afraid, not available, actually being worked on:

However you could try to fallback using ndiswrapper (Windows driver).  ;)

Excellent, thanks for the heads up.

No wonder the other 5 distros I tried did not work either  ::)
